Deck the halls...

So me and my pops went on a "family" vacation to the Bahamas. I will say that it was one of the best Christmas presents ever! Though I wasn't able to use any cell phones or computers I still had a good time...despite the constant itch to reach for my phone and text someone. Now I'm back home all comfy on my own couch with Molly snuggled next to me.

All my Christmas shopping has been done (except for the presents I'll buy after the sales start) and I'll start packing for my second trip to spend time with the other half of my family and my other extended family. So the skinny of it is I will have what we HSPs call sensory overload. But since it's family that I feel more comfortable with than any other people in the world, it will work out just fine.

Again, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and I hope that everyone has someone to spend Christmas with...no one should be alone on Christmas. May Jesus shine His love and light on all far and wide. :)

17 days until Christmas!

Only 17 days until Christmas Day. I'm so excited! I've decorated the house and the office in lights and Christmas trees. It's all so pretty and it gives me that warm fuzzy feeling inside. :) Christmas is my favorite holiday and I tend to go all out when it comes to giving presents and decorating. It reminds me of a time of innocence and naivety when I thought that nothing could go wrong and that whatever was going on didn't exist as long as it was Christmas.

All this happiness and excitement yet I am still trying to shut my brain off. Me being the over thinker that I am I can't help but think this is yet another Christmas/New Year's that I won't have a 'significant other' to share it with. Of course I have fantastic friends and family that will make me forget all of that without even trying but for right now...it stings just a little bit. Though it may sound like a broken record...it's still what's playing in the back of my mind.

So until I fly back home for Christmas I'll be stuck playing the same record in my mind of woe is me. Let's hope these 17 days fly by ever so quickly!!!

Yes I'm moody, get over it!

I don't understand how two-faced people can do what they do. There's a particular co-worker of mine that acts as though she's your best friend in the whole world...until the Boss comes in. Once the Boss is here she just does a complete turn around. She becomes this monster of a person and thinks she's better than everyone else and that she knows every possible piece of information possible and that no one else is correct except for her.

Now, granted...if I'm wrong about something...tell me and I'll fix it. I may not be the best sport about it because I don't like being wrong (who does?) but I'll accept my mistake, fix it and move on. But the way that this one delivers it is like a snotty little 5 year old! 'look, this is wrong...see it says 60 days, not six months? You need to fix it. And by the way, here's my filing to do too. Ok? Thanks.' It's just freaking annoying because she treats me like I don't know what I'm doing. Oh, I'm sorry but I went to school for this job and I've been doing this for 6 years so...I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing.

Grrrr! Ok, now that I've vented and made a complete ass out of myself I will move on to more productive things. Just had to share! ;)

...that's so me!

Have you ever been talking about something and come to the sudden realization that no one really cares about what you're talking about? Then you quickly try to either spice up the story with some really awesome lie or you just taper off and stop talking to see how long it takes for anyone to realize that you stopped talking? Yeah...that happens to me all the time...it's not awesome.

At least with my bestie that never happens. Then again he is my best friend and that kinda goes along with the job title of best friend, doesn't it? At least with my best friend it is. There's never any boundaries with us...which is refreshing yet it can have it's oddities. Like the time that he called to describe this bump on his butt that he didn't know what to do with. Seriously. He called and said, 'I have this bump right on my ass and I don't know what it is. It kinda hurts but I don't think it's a zit...do you want me to send you a picture so that you can see it?' Uhhh....negative.

I will be flying out to the good old country for Christmas and New Year's. My mom has already determined what I will be doing while I'm there as well as what she will be cooking for me. Though the bestie will be attached to my hip for the duration of the stay so that will be exciting. Yay! lol, that is all for now....
